	Press conference with the Iraqi Prime Minister
		The Iraq that Prime Minister Allawi and his colleagues are trying to create is one that is stable and democratic, one that respects human rights, that has equality between men and women, that has equality between different ethnic groupings, and that is an Iraq we should want to see.
		And Prime Minister Blair, are you trying to push the neighbouring countries in trying to help the central government in Iraq to take more practical actions to look after the borders with the country.
		Iraq is rich in its own resources, the Iraqi people, before you had millions of them going into exile, the Iraqi people are a people of enormous capability and intelligence, all they need is the ability, or the capability to let their intelligence and their strength come through, and that is what we will do.

	On-the-Record Briefing on Iraqi Political Developments
		By selecting the presidency council and the speaker and deputies and having nominated now a candidate for prime minister, the Iraqis are now well on their way to the formation of this government of national unity.
		The only point was they had to have a prime minister and it was becoming clear that they weren't going to be able to form a government of national unity under the circumstances that existed, with the prime ministership being unresolved.
		And finally, I know that the Iraqis have talked about wanting to put people back to work in large numbers, and so I think we'll want to talk with them about how they see plans for job creation and in their cities where the unemployment rate is still too high.

		We are working with all Iraqi communities to make sure that the political process will be inclusive and fair, and my hope is that the world media will be able to report on the situation in Iraq in a comprehensive way.
		And in terms of the Sunni community, there is an outreach programme, led by the Prime Minister, to engage leaders of the Sunni community and I am confident that the Sunni community wants to take part in the election because they see this as the way that the future of Iraq will be decided.

		As outrage about the disclosure that U.S. Marines killed 24 Iraqis in the town of Haditha last year continued to roil the new government, the country's Sunni Arab deputy prime minister also demanded that U.S. officials turn over their investigative files on the killings and said the Iraqi government would conduct an inquiry.
		The denunciation was an unusual declaration for a government that remains desperately dependent on U.S. forces to keep some form of order in the country amid a resilient Sunni Arab insurgency in the west, widespread sectarian violence in Baghdad, and deadly feuding among Shiite militias in the south.
		Iraqi deputy prime minister Salam al-Zaubai, one of the most powerful Sunni Arabs in the new government, said a committee of five ministers would investigate the killings with the expectation that U.S. officials will turn over their files.
